Is 9x^2 - 12x + 4 a perfect square? Why?

Mathematics

Ksenya-84 [330]3 years ago

Answer:

Because it is equal to (3x - 2)^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we factor we'll see why:

9x^2 - 12x + 4

To factor we can use the 'ac' method:

Multiplying the leading coefficient by the constant term: 9 * 4 = 36.

We need 2 numbers whose product is 36 and whose sum is -12:

These are -6 and -6 so we write:

9x^2 - 6x - 6x + 4  

Factor by grouping:

= 3x(3x - 2)  - 2(3x - 2)

= (3x - 2)(3x - 2)

= (3x - 2)^2  which is a perfect square.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4 can be factored to (3x-2)(3x-2). If you use the FOIL method, 3x times 3x gives you 9x^2, 3x times -2 gives you -6x, -2 times 3x gives you -6x (-6x + -6x gives you -12), and lastly -2 times -2 gives you 4.

Question: determine all solutions to the diophantine equation 3x + 7y = 4
yKpoI14uk [10]
The difference between the coefficients 7 and 3 is 4, so one solution is
  y = 1, x = -1.
Then the remaining solutions will be of the form
  x = -7n-1
  y = 3n+1
for some integer n.


_____
Some of the solutions are (for n=0, -1, -2, 1, 2)
(x, y) = (-1, 1), (6, -2), (13, -5), (-8, 4), (-15, 7)

A triangle has sides with lengths of 48 meters, 51 meters, and 31 meters. Is it a right triangle?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Putting values

= (31)^2 + (48)^2 = (51)^2

= 961 + 2304 = 2601

= 3265 = 2601

Both sides are not equal so it is not a right triangle
